Strangest coup ever.

More like a child's temper tantrum by Wagner ceo.

Let's see how this plays out

Do you think it was a psy-op from the Kremlin? Tensions have got to be building a year into the "month long special operation". This "coup" works as both a pressure relief valve and an Operation Trust tactic. Dissenters in the administration who think "this is our chance" might show their hand and promote open rebellion or take actions to overthrow Putin, thinking they have military support on the way. Now exposed, it would be easy to counter them and make them disappear.
Others might pin all their hopes on Wagner, see them "so easily defeated" and give up hope that anything will change. Coupled with "increased security" in regions deemed a possible threat to the regime, they could use this to set up their own Homeland Security like the US did post 9/11. Cui Bono, Who Benefits from this "coup"? Seems like a solid bolstering of Putins position. That, and the fact that the Wagner head guy was jewish and probably wants the war to drag on and kill thousands more Whites on both sides.
Inb4 "muh pootin 4d chessmaster" I think Putin is a shabbos dog and him and Zelensky meet up at the local synagogue and laugh about how many of their people died. He was in the KGB though and this seems like the kind of underhanded shit he was trained to do.

I heard Moscow has nuked Rostov-on-Don!
